water cooled turbo

if you take the water feed pipes off the turbo and blank them off, is it still ok to run the turbo with just the oil feed,i think the s1 didnot have water cool any way
cheers

Me too, 'A' ok so long as you let the car cool down (idle for a couple of mins) before turning it off otherwise the heat soak in the turbo will cook the oil reducing turbo life
